Her hands on the counter waiting to know what to do what shoelace to tie what sandwich needs more mustard what kid needs a push
Weird to think she held my dad when he was too small to carry the pail and not smart enough to get someone else to do it and not yet ready to carry a gun
The fishing rod in the old picture must have caused a laugh or two full as it could be with river trout or wads of grass and all the kids on a visit
Why take them to the worm store when the bait could be shiny metal it's a getaway in the old black car down a beer with the guys in the dust and no one who rides can tell anyone else
